520: We can Harness Our Hormones and Their Super Powers To Optimize Our Health with Dr. Nicky Keay
For most of our lives as women, we hear the word hormones and think of the negative impacts they have on us. It’s been drilled into our heads since a young age that women have hormones to deal with; they make us moody; we have to get a period every month; there are negative connotations around hormones and aging through menopause.But what if we flipped this mindset around to recognize the amazing impact hormones can have on our lives once we learn how to truly optimize them? Dr. Nicky explains how our hormones can be our superpower and they can unlock our greatest potential. We just need to learn how to work with them. Although we’ve studied the body for years, we’re still just scratching the surface of studying the details of the female body specifically. It’s so important that women understand their own bodies. And to achieve optimal health and performance as a woman throughout our reproductive years into menopause, we need to be in tune with our biological rhythm. We deserve female-centric routines that work for our unique bodies to boost our metabolism, maintain our blood sugar, keep our stress hormones in check, and allow our brains to function at their best. Once we’re aware of how to optimize the hormones that regulate our energy, metabolism, and ovulatory cycle, we can truly start to feel amazing in our bodies. Dr. Nicky Keay is a cutting-edge doctor who’s making strides in women’s health research. And she’s here to share the tips she’s discovered through her extensive understanding of the endocrine system. Her newest book shares insight into how to unlock our human potential through our hormones, and the knowledge she offers is something you won’t want to miss.So check out this podcast as soon as you can to learn about your body’s potential. We as women face so many challenges when it comes to maintaining hormonal balance– from our reproductive years into menopause!

518: How to Let Go of Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving with Dr. Izabella Wentz
Stress. We all experience it. Taking on too much. Biting off more than you can chew. Putting other peoples’ needs before your own too often. It’s an inevitable component of life. In fact, 98% of people report to their doctors that they have stress in their lives. But what we don’t realize is sometimes this stress is due to underlying physiological conditions. Thyroid dysfunction– especially hypothyroidism– is almost always connected to an adrenal issue. And since the adrenal gland produces the stress hormone cortisol, this means low thyroid function goes hand in hand with experiencing chronic stress. But– there are ways we can support our bodies and adrenal function to optimize our health even with a chronic condition like hypothyroidism. So if you’re ready to show up for loved ones and yourself, or work on projects you’re passionate about while feeling energized and minimally stressed– this is an episode you won’t want to miss!Integrative pharmacist and best-selling author Dr. Izabella Wentz joins me to educate us all about how to best support our adrenal health and energy levels while navigating a busy life. Dr. Izabel’s newest book The Adrenal Transformation Protocol is designed not only for women who are struggling with diagnosed chronic health conditions, but it benefits anyone dealing with symptoms of adrenal fatigue such as brain fog, fatigue, sleep issues, mood swings, or anxiety. She’s released her program to over 3,500 people now. And she’s helped so many of them who have serious health issues get better with real diagnoses. She’s also guided people who may not have a diagnosis yet but are searching for answers because they know something’s off in their bodies. If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or uncertainty with symptoms, you have to hear what Dr. Izabella discusses and learn more about what you can expect in her new adrenal transformation protocol book. Check out this podcast to discover tips for supporting your adrenal function through diet, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. Dr. Izabella provides you with the tools you need to live a more stress-free life and minimize symptoms that may be putting your body in stressful states. Don’t forget to put yourself first! Dr. Izabella Wentz Dr. Izabella Wentz is an innovative and solution-focused integrative pharmacist. She’s dedicated to finding the root cause of chronic health conditions. This passion stems from her own diagnosis with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, following 10 years of debilitating symptoms.Dr. Izabella has been treating patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and low thyroid function for several years. And she’s developed protocols targeting adrenal issues. She’s an accomplished author and has written several best-selling books including Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause and Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back.
